914World.com _ 914World Garage _ lube for window channel ?

Posted by: mgphoto Nov 11 2010, 12:01 PM

Hello,
My drivers side window was smashed yesterday and I need to replace it asap.
I need a little advise as to what lubricant to use in the window guide channel?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike

I have this stuff I got at Napa called syl-glide. I use glycerin on everything now though. I was also told bees wax, chapstick, baby powder, and a few others I can't remember.

It depends on the year of the door!

If it is an early door they have rollers in the channel and first should be cleaned then lubed.

The early doors tend to stick due to dirt and rust getting into the pin in the middle of the rollers.

I've always used the Wurth HHS-K.

Thanks Jeff,
I pick up Silglyde at NAPA today looks like it will work.
